Cult coffee company Grind launches its latest special-edition collection, arriving as the world celebrates 30 years of Pokémon. The collaboration’s product range stars three of the franchise’s most beloved characters—Pikachu, Eevee, and Mew—and includes a refillable coffee tin for each character. The collection also comprises a Pikachu & Eevee t-shirt, an Eevee reusable coffee cup, a Mew cap, and two special versions of Grind’s bestselling ready-to-drink iced coffee cans, released in limited edition packaging: an Iced Caramel Latte featuring Pikachu and an Iced Oat Vanilla Latte featuring Eevee.
The full range is exclusively available at Grind, both online at grind.co.uk and at select Grind locations, while the Iced Caramel Latte featuring Pikachu can be found in Sainsbury’s, Waitrose, and Co-op, and the Iced Oat Vanilla Latte featuring Eevee in Waitrose only.
Created in 1996, Pokémon has grown into one of the most popular and successful entertainment franchises in the world. With video games, mobile apps, the Pokémon Trading Card Game (TCG), animated series and movies, and iconic brand collaborations, Pokémon continues to inspire a global community spanning generations.
The franchise is celebrating 30 years, which marks a moment of shared cultural nostalgia for millions across multiple generations. This special edition collaboration with London’s favourite coffee brand blends that nostalgia and joy with Grind’s modern, design-led approach to coffee culture, creating an irresistible collection for fans, collectors, and coffee-lovers alike. The partnership levels up the everyday ritual of your morning coffee in a way that’s both premium and playful, combining three of the most beloved Pokémon characters with Grind’s speciality-grade coffee.
Grind’s collaboration with Pokémon follows a string of sold-out collaborations with cultural icons including Hello Kitty and Snoopy, alongside pop-rock legends Green Day and the 90s cult classic Clueless. These unexpected collaborations have cemented the brand’s position at the intersection of coffee and pop culture and established its signature tins into coveted collectors’ items.
The Grind x Pokémon products will be sold both individually and in a collection bundle online at grind.co.uk. The t-shirt is available in sizes XS-XXL, and customers can get one of the three limited-edition tins free with new subscription orders; customers can choose from Grind’s home-compostable pods, ground coffee, or whole bean coffee for inclusion in their tin.
David Abrahamovitch, founder & CEO of Grind: “Pokémon has been a cultural touchstone for 30 years. Partnering with them during this celebratory year feels like the perfect way to create something that both embodies the joy, imagination, and creativity of Pokémon and yet is also uniquely Grind. This collaboration has been a longtime request from our customers, and we can’t wait to see the reaction.”
